Handheld GPS w/XM Weather?
When will we see a handheld GPS w/XM Weather capability? I'd buy one!

The former used to use a satellite-phone-based weather solution, but have recently "upgraded". What I don't know is whether the "pixel" size in the AnywhereWX changed. It used to be that the "pixels" in Airgator were smaller (which is good), but that may have changed now that AnywhereWX is getting XM-based weather. Anyone happen to know? - Andrew

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant a single integrated solution, like a Garmin
295 with built in XM receiver and the associated software. I'm familiar with the Anywhere soloution running on a PDA, but that requires multiple modules and interconnections.

Lowrance hinted at this capability on the Airmap 2000c, but has since backed
off. Seems like they still may get to it, eventually. http://www.avionicswest.com/archive/2000cupdate.htm
